Prison Bars - and Freedom!
 
  Safe.
Happy.
Comfort Zone...
All words describing
A Prison.
Alright, if that is where
You want to be...

But for those of us,
Standing at the windows,
Looking out,
Longing to see
What is on the other side
Of tomorrow,
It really is a Prison Cell.

Raise the bars,
Step outside,
Dream,
And plan,
And scheme - -
Of Freedom!

7/7/7
